  1. 'in stock' at amazon.co.uk... If it turns out it's a Black Saint CD-r returning the item should be possible. A while ago I ordered the Monk Black Lion 24-bit remasters from amazon.de and volume 1 turned out to be a CD-r. Volumes 2 & 3 were still shrink wrapped so I returned all three titles. (I told them I ordered real CDs.) I also think I will buy these second hand now.
  2. Same here. And the final two episodes from last season (which I missed) will be shown right before the season premier tonight. Whoa! You also missed being spoiled about the ending of episode eight on the internet for a year? Well if you mean what Hank finds out, I guess I did hear about that. :-) Yes, Marie shoplifting again. What a blow.

  4. I don't know who Hans is, but I agree with this sentiment whole-heartedly. He's the guy who turned a thread about Chris being in a documentary into a thread about him and Aloc....all the while proclaiming he's innocent of what most everyone thinks he meant, but are now twisting what he meant (wink, wink) to what he didn't mean (wink wink). Ironically, he also proclaimed he was leaving the board....if you're going to do that.....might as well do it in a thread that was meant to be about Chris....but still posts....and apparently doesn't have me on ignore. The melodrama! There will be a pop quiz on this. And you are simply a troll. I would miss Hans if he stopped posting here. Not you. As a relative newcomer my word won't mean much here, but I've had plenty of pm contact with Hans since joining and he's is a good guy. Personally, I liked some of the topics Aloc posted.
  5. So I finished my Sopranos marathon in time for Breaking Bad's final eight episodes. Currently watching House Of Cards season one.

  12. The Black Saint/Soul Note remasters I was able to compare to the originals suffered particularly from excessive highs. This way the sound got in the way of the music, instead of helping to elevate it further. Perhaps if I had nothing to compare them to... They did not suffer from high volume levels, unlike the Impulse Originals series. For instance, the remastering on Coltrane's Crescent creates earsplitting peaks, particularly obvious and intolerable on headphones. It also has a lot of bottom end. Those kind of remasters are the most fatiguing around and can give you something approaching a (minor) headache. Like I said before, the sound should further elevate great music, not detract from it. I would rather have less titles/CDs in pleasant sound than become a completist again. Perhaps for people who have been listening to this music for decades seeking out more obscure recordings by favourite artists becomes a necessity as they tire of the classics. This could possibly lead you to become less critical of sound quality as you have to make do with what little is available? David Murray's The Hill has great sound quality on the old CD substantially enhancing my enjoyment of the music when listened to on a good sound system. This is why I try to avoid listening to favourite albums on my iMac. That's not saying sound is more important than the music. I'm generally very critical of both.
  13. PM on 16 Mal Waldron Evidence (Dark Light 1991) rare CD, like mint, literally played once since removed from shrink wrap.
  14. I briefly downloaded the WSQ and compared (a while ago). It confirmed my suspicions about the hot treble. It made those early WSQ discs sound even less appealing. Some of the later discs like Andrew Hill's Shades and Verona Rag sound excellent and need no remastering. Neither does David Murray's The Hill (likely on the new set).
  15. If it has the same hot treble mastering they needn't bother. I lost my appetite for these sets with the Murray Octet. I really need to download some of these sets to compare to some of the old CDs I own.

  19. My first Cecil Taylor CD was Looking (Berlin Version) The Feel Trio. I selected this particular disc after reading Taylor's entry in the 4th Penguin Guide. First listening to that I felt like I'd hit bull's eye.
